This Problem Across All Years
MY CHRYSLER SEBRING HAS HAD OIL CHANGES ON, AND THE LAST TIME IT WAS CHANGE THE MECHANIC HAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE NET AND IT IS PREVENTING THE CORRECT OIL PRESSURE TO GET TO THE ENGINE AND IT COULD BLOW THE ENGINE. THE COST HOWEVER IS MORE THAN I CAN AFFORD (2500.00) TO OVERHAUL THE ENGINE. I HAVE A 2005 SEBRING WITH APPROX 60,000 MILES. *TR

WE ALREADY HAD A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT 58,000 MILES WITH OUR SEBRING IN 2008. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAD TO HIRE A LAWYER AND 5 MONTHS LATER WE HAD AN ENTIRELY NEW ENGINE PUT IN. ONE YEAR LATER, THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE IT OVERHEATS EVERY 5 MILES. WE OUR ON OUR THIRD TRY AFTER THE DEALERSHIPS HAS BEEN SENDING IT BACK SAYING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAD PURCHASED AN 05 CHRYSLER SEBRING TOURING CONVERTIBLE FROM THE HUNTINGTON DEALERSHIP WITH 22,800 MILE ON THE CLOCK. SEVERAL WEEKS AFTER OUR PURCHASE THE NIGHTMARE HAD BEGUN. THE ENGINE HAD OVER HEATED ON THE FREEWAY, WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND INSPECTED BY THE GLENDALE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO USE. WE RAN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM ANOTHER 2 TIMES, AND THE EXACT SAME WAY AND PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEIR WAS AN AIR BUBBLE AND THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE HAS BEEN DAMAGED BUT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SEMI VALLEY DEALERSHIP. EVEN THOUGH MY WARRANTY COVERS THIS, THEY DON'T WANT TO BE OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A WEEK, WITH THEM NOT ALLOWING ME A RENTAL. I HAVE HAD TO SEEK OTHER TRANSPORT MEANS WHICH HAS COST ME. AT THE CURRENT MOMENT I AM STILL WITHOUT A VEHICLE I HAD TO APPROVE OF AN ENGINE TEAR DOWN TO FIND THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS TAKEN THREE DAYS AND WILL NEED AN INSPECTOR FROM CHRYSLER TO COME AND APPROVE THE FINDINGS AND THE REPAIR. ALL JUST SO CHRYSLER CAN TRY AND POINT THE FINGER (WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM THE GET GO). AND I'M NOT EVER SURE IF CHRYSLER WILL APPROVE OF THE REPAIR. I HOPE THEY WILL DO WHAT'S IN THE CUSTOMERS INTEREST CONSIDERING THE STRESS AND HEARTACHE THIS HAS CAUSED. I DO KNOW THAT I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER AGAIN. *TR
